research Hair Cycle Control by Estrogens: Catagen Induction via Estrogen Receptor (ER)-α Is Checked by ERβ Signaling

92 citations , February 2005 in “Endocrinology”

This study found that estrogen receptor beta plays a significant role in murine hair growth control, potentially acting as a silencer of estrogen receptor alpha's catagen-promoting effects.

research Hair Cycle Control by Vanilloid Receptor-1 (TRPV1): Evidence from TRPV1 Knockout Mice

49 citations , April 2006 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

TRPV1 helps regulate hair growth cycles.

research Hair cycle control by leptin as a new anagen inducer

41 citations , November 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that leptin acts as an inducer of the anagen phase in hair follicles, suggesting its role as a potential player in hair biology.

research Micro‐RNA‐31 controls hair cycle‐associated changes in gene expression programs of the skin and hair follicle

149 citations , June 2010 in “The FASEB journal”

In this study, miR-31 was found to play a significant role in hair cycle regulation in mice by controlling key gene expressions involved in hair growth and differentiation.

research Exploring molecular mechanisms controlling skin homeostasis and hair growth : microRNAs in hair-cycle-dependent gene regulation, hair growth and associated tissue remodelling

January 2010 in “Bradford Scholars (University of Bradford)”

This study found that microRNAs play key roles in regulating gene expression during the hair cycle in mice, impacting follicle growth and skin homeostasis through mechanisms involving major signalling pathways.

community Scalp hydration's surprising link to hair growth cycle regulation

in Technology 23 upvotes 4 months ago

Scalp hydration may influence hair growth by affecting the signaling pathways that control the hair growth cycle. Users suggest using facial moisturizer, aloe vera, and oils for scalp hydration.

community if hair follicle miniaturization happens slowly and gradually over a few hair cycles then wouldn't that mean that to regain maximum or top thickness from treatment you would at least need 5-10 years?

in Research/Science 53 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair regrowth from treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can take several years, with most visible results appearing within 1-2 years and potential improvements continuing up to 10 years. Consistency and patience are crucial for achieving maximum hair thickness, as hair miniaturization and regrowth are gradual processes.

community My hair after 3 steroid cycles

in Progress Pictures 27 upvotes 2 years ago

A user shared their hair progress after three steroid cycles, using 5% minoxidil and 100mg RU58841 daily. They are considering a hair transplant due to paranoia about shedding.

community Sometimes the hair loss was in our control the whole time

833 upvotes 11 months ago

The conversation discusses hair loss and the potential impact of diet and lifestyle changes, particularly increased protein intake, on hair health. The original poster shared their experience of improved hair appearance after weight loss and dietary changes, despite skepticism from others about lighting differences in photos and the effectiveness of diet alone without finasteride or minoxidil.

community Creatine Does Not Increase DHT And Does Not Cause Hair Loss - Randomized Controlled Trial

308 upvotes 1 year ago

Creatine does not increase DHT levels or cause hair loss. Personal experiences vary, but scientific evidence shows no link between creatine and hair loss.

learn Follistatin

glycoprotein that inhibits TGF-β and promotes hair growth by antagonizing activin

learn Procyanidin

bioflavonoid found in plants with antioxidant and hair stimulating properties

learn Osteopontin

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

learn Melatonin

hormone commonly taken for sleep aid has some topical benefits for hair

learn Low Level Laser Therapy

laser therapy for anti-inflammatory and likely insignificant hair regrowth effects

learn Hair Transplant

What happens after a hair transplant? Expect mild swelling and redness, with new hair growth starting in 3 to 6 months.
When will I see new hair growth after a hair transplant? New hair growth usually starts 2-4 months after a hair transplant.

learn Cyproterone

How long does it take for cyproterone to work on hair loss? There is no reliable published figure for how fast cyproterone works on hair loss: the hair cycle means nothing shows for months, the one randomised trial assessed women at twelve months, and community reports range from about six months to two years — with some people seeing no change at all.

learn horsetail extract

How long should you use horsetail extract before noticing stronger or thicker hair? No published trial has tested horsetail extract for hair thinning, so no evidence-based timeline exists; the hair cycle means any supplement needs at least three months, and more realistically five to six, before a change could be visible at all.

learn Rapamycin

Is rapamycin safe for long-term use on the scalp, or should it be used in cycles? There is no published human trial of topical rapamycin on the scalp, so nobody knows whether long-term use is safe; the idea of cycling it comes from community practice and theory, not from any study or guideline, and rapamycin for hair loss is an off-label use of a prescription immunosuppressant.
